Specific measures
How the NCSC can help
Please report the incident to the police. You can find your nearest police station on the Suisse ePolice website (available in German, French and Italian). The NCSC is not a law enforcement agency and cannot conduct investigations.
Your report via the online form helps the NCSC identify trends. This makes it possible for the NCSC to raise public awareness in a targeted way.
